I feel quite certain CFT has no virus but this guy is convinced that his has. My virus software does not report problems. What do you tell a guy like this?

I am still running version 3.06. I have scanned both the zip file and the installed exe file with AVG and also Systemsuite 2000 virus programs. Both theses are updated on a weekly basis, and neither detect a virus present.

Further to my last email, I have updated AVG and rescanned all CFT files and zips with no virus being reported.

Ira, FWIW, I downloaded and purchased CFT-Win in June and had no report of a virus. I run NAV, and keep my definitions current. I would ask the person for the following information: * name of the file downloaded * where it was downloaded from * the date/time stamp on the file, and * the file size * The virus that DR Solomon is reporting. You can at least compare this to ensure that you're looking at the same .exe file. You could also offer to have the person send you a copy of the file so that you can inspect it yourself. Beyond that, I'm not sure there's much else you can do to convince the person that the file is clean. As an aside, I see in the Help/About that I'm running version "3.06x" even though I've installed 3.07. Is this just a mistake in the About dialog? I also pulled down and ran the upgrade, just to be sure.
